BICEP SIZE AND RATIO

The pictures having rulers superimposed are an attempt to measure
bicep height and flexed/unflexed ratio. This method is inaccurate and
produce results that are very different from reality owing to several
error factors.

Please note that the results found by the shown equations are only
reliable when a measuring tape is used.

BICEPS AND PEAKED BICEPS

By Francisco

Some muscle women are claimed to have biceps of some size, say;
36cm (14"), 40cm (16"), 43cm (17") and even perhaps 46cm (18"). We do
believe that such measurements are correct. But are larger sizes actually
corresponding to peaked biceps? Well, this may not be so!

Biceps development depends fundamentally on genetics and to a certain
extent, on workout preferences. If a woman works-out her biceps with more
persistence they will certainly become more defined, harder, larger in
volume and, when flexed, they may peak.

For instance, a 36cm (14") biceps woman could have them peaked while
another having 43cm (17") or more, doesn't. It's a question of biceps
flexing performance. This can be quantified in terms of "flexing
percentage".

The following equation may help to assess that performance provided two
arm measurements are made; a relaxed bicep measurement (Rm) and a flexed
bicep measurement (Fm):

Flexing % = (Fm - Rm) * 100 / Rm

Applying this equation could only be regarded as a "standard method"
proposal. But what would be the minimum percentage value for a bicep to
be considered a peaked one? This is a different matter that FBB experts
have to establish according to their experience!

Assuming that any muscle woman is always proud of her biceps, maybe they
start to become keen on biceps performance competitions in future!
